The Power of Prayer

“More things are wrought by prayer Than this world dreams of. Wherefore, let thy voice Rise like a fountain for me night and day. For what are men better than sheep or goats, That nourish a blind life with the brain, If, knowing God, they lift not hands of prayer Both for themselves and those who call them friend? For so the whole world round is every way Bound by gold chains about the feet of God.”
God's ships of treasure sail upon the boundless sea Of love divine, of power infinite. To change their course, retard their on-way, Nor wind nor wave hath might. Prayer is the tide for which the vessels wait Ere they can come to port; and if it be the tide is low Then how canst thou expect God's treasure-ships to see?
